The story behind the image

We stayed in Victoria, British Columbia, for two nights and explored the surroundings of this stunningly beautiful city on Vancouver Island.

My photo shows a water skier speeding across Prospect Lake just north of Victoria.

Vixtoria has got it all::

  • Freedom (after all, it’s Canada!)
  • The sea (Pacific Ocean)
  • Spectacular nature (namely, the Pacific Ocean)
  • Countless oppotunities for outdoor activities (hiking, swimming, biking, and much more)
  • English as main language
  • Relaxed people (yes, it’s Canada!)
  • Moderate climate (not too hot, not too cold)
  • A rich history and culture

In my next life I’d love to live in Canada. 🙂
